Maruti Suzuki XL6 Teaser gave use a glimpse of the car's features and cabin design

Unlike the 7-seater Ertiga, the new Maruti Suzuki XL6, as the name suggests, will be a 6-seater car with 2+2+2 seating layout. which means instead of a bench seat, the second row will come with captain seats as standard. However based on the teaser images and spy photos, visually the design of the cabin will remain identical to the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, featuring the wide horizontal lines, premium fit and finish, and smart features.

The new Maruti Suzuki XL6 will be powered by the existing, BS6 compliant 1.5-litre K15 petrol engine, recently introduced in the Ertiga. The petrol engine also comes equipped with the company's SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) mild-hybrid technology. The engine comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and an optional 4-speed automatic torque converter.
